Inside the black van parked on the street that was outfitted as a high-tech surveillance post, Captain Markum had sent off an update. He had included over secure communications both the audio of the conversation between two of their targets and also the video that went with it. The Captain watched along with several technicians assigned to Team Four. The techs were trained soldiers as required to even attempt to qualify for the coveted assignment. 

Less than eight minutes after sending the information the Captain's satellite phone flashed and he answered, knowing who was the only person who could be on the other end. "Sir?"

General Ross was sitting at his desk, leaning forward slightly with a sense of controlled excitement. "Captain, when he's alone I want the juvenile asset picked up tomorrow with as little damage as possible."

"Yes, Sir. And the female?"

Ross opened his mouth to dismiss taking in the female, despite being the asset's mother she had no value, then paused. If she could carry the child of an alien species then between her and the juvenile asset Ross could imagine creating an entire army of enhanced soldiers. Besides, she could be used to keep the juvenile asset compliant. "Pick her up as well. Take them to the Delta site. I'll be waiting."

"Yes, Sir." There was no closing conversation, the link simply was cut on the General's end and Captain Markum looked back at his surveillance equipment. In a matter of minutes, the black van was driving away, they had work to do to prepare for tomorrow's asset recovery.
